H2: What happened — new song and video
Doechii closed out 2025 with a surprise release: the single and music video for “girl, get up,” featuring SZA lending airy, grounding vocals on the chorus. The track arrived Dec. 30 and pairs Doechii’s direct rap verses with a laid-back, guitar-forward production.

H3: Sound and the sample
The beat rides on a prominent guitar sample and borrows the feel of Baby ft. Clipse’s “What Happened to That Boy,” giving the song a familiar, head-nodding backbone. Doechii’s flow is conversational and braggadocious — the song listens like an intimate smoke-sesh talk, punctuated by SZA’s floating refrains: “Fuck a limitation, leave me, girl, get up,” she sings, leaning into manifestation and confidence.
H3: Lyrics — answering critics and staking claim
Doechii uses the verses to address critics head-on. She calls out the “industry plant” chatter that trailed her rise and references the attention around her 2025 Best Rap Album Grammy win. Lines like “All that industry plant shit wack” and “They won’t credit me, so they blame it on Satan” make clear she’s rebutting those who minimize her work or attribute her success to anything but effort.
She also flips blame back onto doubters and the blogs: “Y’all can’t fathom that I work this hard… Y’all can’t stand my vibe ’cause I’m anointed.” Beyond rebuttal, the song functions as a manifesto — Doechii says she’s done being starved for opportunities and wants “the whole dinner.”
H2: A hint at more music
Midway through the track, Doechii teases that she’ll address misogyny and other grievances “on the album.” That line, paired with the confident closing bars, reads like a promise: expect a fuller statement from Doechii in 2026.
H3: Why this matters
The single consolidates Doechii’s breakout momentum from 2025. By pairing a high-profile feature (SZA) with candid, combative lyrics and a recognizable sample, Doechii keeps the conversation on her artistry and next moves. The song’s tone — half flex, half therapy — frames her as both unbothered and hungry.
H4: Final take
“girl, get up” feels like a clearing of the air. Doechii answers critics, celebrates wins, and sets the table for a bigger push next year. With SZA’s chorus lifting the track, the song functions as a statement of intent: Doechii is ready for what’s next.
